Loki

2008-01-13T21:14:00Z

This is Loki. He is sitting pretty in a peach tree. He likes this viewpoint; it acts as a watchtower for prey.

So far he has left us two and a half dead rats and one poor tortured bird.

Moss, shadow and light.

Photograms

2008-01-13T21:09:00Z

These photograms, also known as rayographs, dubbed by the experimental photographer Man Ray. A camera-less method of photography. Place banal objects, or interesting ones onto a light sensitive sheet of paper, switch the light on, and *poof* a photogram.

Mother's Day

2008-01-13T20:43:00Z

I have been making my own cards for about 7 years now. I really enjoy it. It is truly an art in itself, and surely beats Hallmark. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), most of the cards I've made are in the hands of their recipients. Here is a card I put together to display on the site. More coming soon!

3. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and place in a large serving bowl. Spoon the mushroom sauce on top; toss to mix well. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley. Toss with more of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid if desired.

3. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, cornmeal, oats, rye flour, milk powder, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda. Stir in the water, juice and oil. Fold in the strawberries. (If the batter is too stiff, use your brain. Add more milk or water)

5. Repeat until all the batter has been used. :D
